Minnesota Youth Council Committee Annual Report 93Rd Legislature 2019 This document is made available electronically by the Minnesota Legislative Reference Library as part of an ongoing digital archiving project. http://www.leg.state.mn.us/lrl/lrl.asp Minnesota Youth Council Committee Annual Report 93rd Legislature 2019 Minnesota Youth Council Committee Legislative Report 2019 INTRODUCTION The 2019 Minnesota State Legislative Session was the sixth session in which the Minnesota Youth Council Committee represented the voices and interests of youth from across the state. The Minnesota Youth Council Committee grew out of an interest by the Minnesota Youth Council [MYC], a diverse group of 36 youth and adults representing each congressional district of Minnesota, plus one at-large district. The MYC’s mission is to “work together to mobilize the 325,000+ middle and high school aged people to work towards a Minnesota where no decision is made about them without them!” The MYC is an initiative of the Minnesota Alliance With Youth, a statewide nonprofit that serves as a leading youth development capacity-builder, convener, and collaborator in Minnesota. Legislation in 2013 formalized the relationship between the Minnesota Youth Council youth members and the Minnesota Legislature, putting youth voice into law with the formation of the Minnesota Youth Council Committee [MYCC]. Representatives from each party within the House and Senate act as liaisons to the Minnesota Youth Council Committee.

The goal was to get young people talking with their legislators about issues that are important to them. YDAC was presented by: Minnesota Alliance With Youth, Minneapolis YWCA, Minnesota Civic ​ ​ ​ Youth, the Minnesota Community Education Association, and the Minnesota History Center. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Youth in Educational Leadership Summit [YELS] ● Across the state, young people are in positions of leadership in their schools and communities, working within the same system and towards similar goals regarding education and equity. However, we rarely have the opportunity to meet and collaborate directly. We know that strong youth voice, representation, and partnership is necessary in order to create a Minnesota that empowers ALL students. The Minnesota Youth Council hosted the very first Youth in Educational Leadership Summit ​ ​ (YELS) on March 30th at Patrick Henry High School. It was an exciting day full of trainings and workshops designed and facilitated entirely by youth. Teachers, coaches, parents, and other Minnesota Youth Council Committee Legislative Report 2019 mentors also participated in our student facilitated Adult Partner track, where they learned how to best support young leaders. See a recap of the day’s events in our YELS2019 Wakelet! ​ ​ 21st Century Grants ● “The 21st Century Grant Process has been proposed as a project by MDE to The SAC Committee. ​ Since the Grant is of a great size, we as the SAC were hoping that the Policy Committee would also like to participate in this work. The 21st Century Grant is about 30 Million Dollars that go to different programs at schools around the state. This process for us as the Minnesota Youth Council entails reviewing grant applications as well as learning how to review grants. Because this decision will affect jobs and the lives of people around Minnesota, we were hoping that this could be an overarching theme for the Council for at least this year; and hopefully, many to come. “ - MYC Member and Education Committee Veteran Chair Jack Prince ​ Other ● “Learn With Us” Video Series ​ ● MYC graduates Elena Medeiros and Allyssa DeGrand returned as college freshman to serve as Adult Partners. ● Capitol Pathways Intern, Judith supported MYC during legislative session ● Summer internship with MYC alum Raina Meyer ● Step Up Intern, Juwaria Jama supported MYC with a summer internship ● Youth Reps Bryan Forsman and Hufsa Ahmed are volunteering during the summer to support MYC MYC Monthly Newsletters ● April 2019 MYC Newsletter ● March 2019 MYC Newsletter ● February 2019 MYC Newsletter ● December 2018 MYC Newsletter ● November 2018 MYC Newsletter ● October 2018 MYC Newsletter ● September 2018 MYC Newsletter ● August 2018 MYC Monthly Newsletter MEDIA ● #EdGovTownHall Twitter Event ○ Sponsored by Asian American Organizing Project, Children’s Defense Fund, EdAllies, Education Evolving, Educators 4 Excellence, Midwest Center for School Transformation, Minnesota Youth Council and Teach for America - Twin Cities. ○ Moderated by Youth Council Representatives Raina Meyer and Ava Kalenze. ● Minnesota Youth Council Representative Selection Announcements Minnesota Youth Council Committee Legislative Report 2019 ○ Aaron Sopelle ○ Anushka Thorat ○ Ava Kalenze + Emily Geier ○ Juwaria Jama ○ Logan Clarke ○ Nicholas Armstrong ○ Saja Osman ● Arjun Maheshwari WikiWisdom ● Harita Duggirala - Science Olympiad ​ ● Alumni Jessica Mendoza - EdAllies ○ Connecting Students With Community: My Story and Call to Action ● Raina Meyer + Mimi Le - Kavanaugh Statement ​ ● Mimi Le - ExCEL Award Winner ​ ● Saja Osman - EdVoices on Teacher Diversity ○ While Adults Talk About Teacher Diversity, Nothing is Changing for Youth of Color ● Raina Meyer + Mimi Le - Youth in Educational Leadership Summit ○ YMCA Expands Effort to get Minnesota Kinds More Politically Involved Minnesota Youth Council Committee Legislative Report 2019 .

  • The Day John Denver Came to School”
    “The Day John Denver Came To School” *By Polly Keith Scotland Edina High School Class of 1970 At my 45-year high school reunion, there was a lot of chatter about John Denver. Prior to the reunion, our class president, George White posed the question, “Do you remember the day John Denver came to school? Why did he come?” The date in question was Wednesday, September 10, 1969–– the fall of our senior year. I emailed George’s question to our classmates and included a photo from our yearbook showing a smiling John Denver, on the cusp of fame, strumming his guitar encircled by a sea of fresh-faced students. There was a wide variety of feedback. Some thought it was a walkout in response to an enforced dress code while others said it was a sit-in to protest the Vietnam War and the Kent State shootings (which actually didn’t occur for another eight months). Time has a way of blurring the memory. The circumstances surrounding an impromptu concert by the little-known John Denver (whose real name was Henry John Deutschendorf, Jr.) involved a salary dispute between the Edina school board and the teacher’s union. In early September1969, the teachers declared they would strike by boycotting all extra- curricular activities. That meant that there would be no teachers for club activities, dances, or after-school help, and all sporting events (pre-Title IX) would not have coaches. Concerned athlete’s asked for a meeting with the superintendent at his Pentagon Park office before the scheduled September 5, 1969 football game.

    MINNESOTA HISTORICAL SOCIETY Oral History Collection OH109: WAYZATA ELEMENTARY STRING PROGRAM ORAL HISTORY PROJECT Oral History Interviews OVERVIEW OF THE RECORDS Creator: Wayzata Elementary String Program Oral History Project. Title: Oral history interviews of the Wayzata Elementary String Program Oral History Project. Dates: 2001 January – 2002 January. Quantity: 27 sound cassettes (90 min. each); 27 transcripts in 29 folders Location: See Detailed Description section for locations. SCOPE AND CONTENTS OF THE RECORDS Interviews documenting the history of the Wayzata Elementary String Program, offered in the elementary schools of Independent School District 284, Wayzata Public Schools, Wayzata, Minnesota, from 1963 through May 2001. Begun using traditional methods and involving mainly only fifth and sixth grade students, by 1967, the Suzuki approach was being used and students in grades one through six were included. At its height, more than 500 children were involved, roughly fifteen percent of the elementary population in grades kindergarten through five. Support was given by the Wayzata String Boosters. The program was eliminated in May 2001 due to budget constraints. The narrators are program teachers, administrators, participants, or parents of participants; the interview record their impressions, anecdotes and memories of their involvement with the program. The interviewer, Lynne Weber, was a Wayzata Public Schools cello and bass teacher who worked with the program during the 1998-1999 school year. Included with the transcripts are an introduction to the program, with general description and background, outline of the program’s structure, and ensemble photographs; a history of the Suzuki teaching method; a description of the reason for and method used in the oral history program; and a master index of names and topics.

  • EHS Course Catalog
    EDINA SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL 2018-19 REGISTRATION CATALOG Grades 9-12 Welcome to Edina High School! We are excited and proud of the work we do at Edina High School to provide an exceptional education and assist students in preparation for their future. We look to equip students with the necessary skills to be successful at the next level; whether it is college, vocational training, or work. This process begins with registration and our course catalog serves as a guide to the many academic programs offered. Please read this catalog carefully as it will prove helpful in academic planning today and for the future. As you consider your course planning for the upcoming years, pay special attention to the points below: A typical course load for students is six periods out of the seven offered. Students are recommended to maintain an “open” hour for extra time to study by registering for a student prep class, serving as a peer tutor, or serving in a leadership role. Consider taking rigorous courses but monitor your daily and evening schedule and balance. Take advantage of courses offered at EHS that also provide college credit. Be sure to pay close attention to how you want your evenings to be structured. o Do you have a job outside of school? o Are you involved in an extra-curricular activity? o Are there other outside commitments that could take priority over school? o How much time will you have to allocate to homework/studying? Look at courses related to your interests beyond high school. Talk to people in professions you are interested in to determine what kind of preparation you can make in high school.
